DESCRIPTION:Wright State University Physics Department Seminar\nWednesday\,
February 12\, 2014\n1:15pm in 103 Oelman Hall\n\n'But can they DO it? Usi
ng educational research to investigate how students become practicing phys
icists.'\nBy Steven F. Wolf\, CREATE for STEM Institute at Michigan State
University\n________________________________________\n\nRecently\, many na
tional stakeholders have called for an increase in the number of STEM-educ
ated graduates who will keep pushing the forefront of scientific knowledge
\, and also for highly qualified STEM teachers to prepare the next generat
ion of scientists and engineers. As we prepare the next generation of sci
entists and engineers for their future careers\, we must focus on preparin
g them for professional practice. A key practice emphasized in physics is
making models of physical systems\; specifically\, the ability to represe
nt physical systems in multiple ways – such as mathematically\, graphicall
y\, or diagrammatically – and to use those representations to predict the
behavior of that physical system. In this talk\, I will present a researc
h program\, which aims to understand how students develop expertise in cre
ating physical models.
